Trump is in the fingers in ears "LA LA LA!" stage of his trial. 🤣🤣🤣

Go git 'im, Mikey. You're a beacon of truth in the face of CRIMPOTUS.

[jonathans.bragdon]

Pray for Michael Cohen, for strength and wisdom and restraint when provoked.

[lauriebath]

Cohen.... don't let them shake you. Tell your truth. And that's it.

[SuarezREM]

How in the world do you rob a bank, one of the robbers goes to jail and the other remains at large ?

[mmp-ku]

Cohen will do a good job and tell the truth.
Thank you
💙💙👍💙💙

Not only did Cohen go to jail, he lost his law license and the respect of his family and his fellow New Yorkers, which he has fought hard to regain. I have deep respect for Michael Cohen and I wish him God speed in all his endeavors going forward.

Vote! Stop this nonsens. Trump is not a worthy leader of America.

[johnsilvani]

MIchael Cohen is a Great guy who suffered for Greed but he came clean which Trump will never do since he is Hannibal Lecter

[lifeiswhatyoumakeofit.]

Michael paid for his actions now is trump’s time to do the same.

[morrisphillips]

This qualifies as a double standard, one for Mr. Cohen and another for Donald Trump, both were guilty of the same crime.

[BlueBonnie]

I recall Omarosa said, You all have no idea what a disaster this administration is. Long ago, and far away.🌎

[arclight]

It's funny Cohen worked for Rump 10 years .Rump has praised him on video. I mean Rump only hires the best .

[PacificForage]

When it's all said and done, Biden should give Cohen a medal. That would be the icing on the cake.

[ranrod]

Cohen had to leave the Trump cult to tell it all . 😂

Week 4. The end of this trial is in sight. Things do NOT look good for Donnie. Just remember folks, this is a criminal trial. This means if found guilty, Donnie is taken straight to prison in handcuffs. Sentencing may be scheduled for another day, but Donnie will have to do the Epic Perp's Walk of Shame in cuffs straight to the slammer. Get ready for the prison jumpsuit mugshots.

[YZW]

Put Donnie on the stand. Imagine the perjury!

[chriskelly]

Why, why I ask, do we get minute by minute reports on the testimony, but we can't watch it live streamed?

[hanknyc]

“They are going to tell a story”
You got that right!

[ronaldcole]

Having the paper trail evidence that Cohen had shuts the door on Trumps face.
